Abstract

Biogeochemical
studies have been carried out on Prunus armeniaca L. plant grown in and around
Pb-Zn deposits in Gorgu village and on the soil samples grown on this plant.
Chemical analyzes of plant and soil samples taken in the study area were carried
out in the ACME analytical laboratory in Canada by ICP-MS method. The average
Pb concentration of branch, leaf, fruit and soil of Prunus Armeniaca L. (P.
Armeniaca) plant was (mg/kg), respectively; 15.1, 13.7, 3.5 and 1495.5, and Zn
concentration, respectively (mg/kg); 29, 44.3, 36.4 and 1831.7. The average BAC
(Bioaccumulation Coefficient) values calculated for the Pb element of the
P. Armeniaca plant were BAC (branch/soil):0.01, BAC (leaf/soil):0.01 and BAC (fruit/soil):0.004
and the average BAC values calculated for the Zn element, BAC (branch/soil):0.04,
BAC (leaf/soil):0.05 and BAC (fruit/soil):0.07. For this reason,    this plant is a medium accumulator plant in
the locations determined for Cu, Mo and Zn elements.
